Unicorn Wars has to be one of the most beautiful, yet also bloodthirsty animations I've seen in a long while! Despite its cutesie appearance on surface level, don't be fooled, this one certainly isn't made for kids!

What's that got to do with it.
As a lover for traditional animation It’s always great to see more hand drawn animated films even if they are incredibly dark

This whole reply section is a joke
When Blue Killed "Fat ass" with a rock, it was a direct refence to Abel and Cain when he too killed his brother with a rock.
It's also very similar to that scene from the novel by William Golding Lord of the Flies where the fat kid who's nicknamed Piggy by everyone else because of his weight and large nose that resembles a pig snout where he dies pretty much the same way
I thought that too
Cain and Abel is the story of mankind.
You did not had to violate Tubbi like that-
@@williampulfer-melville8536Which, besides being even more similar than you think, is an incredibly religious novel contrary to most idiotic interpretations; The originally intended title for it was supposed to be Beelzebub-Both it and 'Lord of the Flies' are nicknames for Satan; It's not about (male) youth, or what happens 'without' society. The backdrop for the novel is it being in a time of war-why I said it's more similar to the movie than you think-with a religious figure used as a symbological representation and excuse for their actions. Them being in a time of war inherently makes it an inaccurate comparison to what (the lack of) society is like. It's about religion. How it often forms and the ways it's used.
I love how the Unicorns aren’t colorful and rainbow
they’re kinda shadow-like
and I honestly love their design
fr
Makes it accurate how they were originally portrayed in old mythology
Yeah they look very mysterious.
Yes i like how this is not a kids movie that be lame honestly if it was a kids movie
bruh how can you be he/him and lesbian
One detail I really appreciated in the movie is that Bluey frames Tubby for wetting the bed and announces it to the whole barracks...
Only to be the sole bear pissing himself when they find the missing troop.
He's willing to throw his own brother under the bus if it means preserving his image.
Tubby even reveals that it was Bluey who wet the bed in reality, but he’s so insecure he has to blame his brother instead of just washing the sheets and not letting anybear know.
The fact that in the book they said when the bears kill all the Unicorns they will get the forest back but here they are burning down the forest😅
If it helps, Tubby’s name in Spanish, Gordi… it comes across as more of a term of endearment like “honey” or “sweetie” or “darling.” While it does mean something like tubby or fatty, it’s not really making a reference to weight in that case.
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
So that means if his name is Gordi in the original Spanish version that his name in English should have been Gordon
And Bluey's name in Spanish is Azulin.
@@RubyEmerald2007 which derives from the word azul which is Spanish for blue
@@williampulfer-melville8536 yes correct! 😊
THIS! This is a perfect definition of "innocence shattering"! The fact that it was directed by the same person who directed Bird Boy shows that he knows definitely how to mess with other's minds of showing horrifying events in dark universes through creature that are considered otherwise innocent. I seriously went speechless only from watching the clips for the first time in SaberSpark's review.
And the visuals, *oh my lord…* Spot on praise for these magnificent artists!
I think this is exactly what true indie-horror is like.
My biggest fear though, will be how many people will mistake it for a kids movie and give it to their pre-schoolers? I sure hope as little as possible! I prefer to NOT repeat the same mistake of Watership Down all over again…
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
@@p-__ Keep this fetish spam to yourself, troll
I saw Watership Down when I think I was either four or five.
@@thephantomoftheparadise5666 Yikes… That probably was quite scarring, huh?
Bird boy had a good ending and a good point
One thing to notice in the scene where they find the butchered camp, is the monkeys in the trees.
I think they were the ones to slaughter the camp, not the unicorns, in order to orchestrate renewed conflict.
Neither side really wanted to upset the status quo up to this point, so it makes sense that the monkeys are the culprit. Especially considering they want to birth a new god from the aftermath of the war.
That honestly makes sense actually, considering I didn't notice them much beforehand. So it makes it kind of random they appeared when the monster went to form the image of a human at the end and followed it. But if they are the ones to orchestrated the slaughter, it makes me wonder what they represent exactly if they're playing a third side in the war that's more hiding in the shadows or the forest as we see.
@@riskingrain1560 I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the ones behind the holy book.
Perhaps the bears did dark things in the last that warranted being banished from the forest in the first place, and considering the monkeys inhabit the decrepit church and the themes of this movie… it makes sense in a way.
The religion the bears have was twisted into something evil and abhorrent instead of offering enlightenment.
@@riskingrain1560 can they be the ones who started the whole war then? a third party creating violent hatred between each other. unicorns see teddy bears as a threat to nature while teddy bears see the unfairness in being chased out of the woods.
Huh that make some sense
@@riskingrain1560 I see what you’re saying. They represent the Jews.
This movie is basically an animated Vietnam War film, but with care bears and unicorns
Actually they're; "My Little Pony."
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
I might be reading into it too much but when you said that Bluey decided to eat Coco the first thought that came into my mind is that there is this belief that when you eat the organ of an animal you hunted down you gain it's attributes. Maybe, since Bluey was jealous, insecure and crazy he applied the same logic to Coco and decided to eat his body to become better?
Yeah, looks like it's both canibalism (becaus of the hunger) and antropophagy (which is more like the concept of eating a man to acquire their powers). On the other hand, antropophagy is also a concept that regards respect towards the fallen warrior, which doesn't seen like it, so it could be more like way to mock him (?)
I thought that, too.
You are probably right, the movie even states drinking the blood from the last unicorn gives you powers. i recon thats why bluey ate him
Yeah I definitely got an "eat him to get his strength" vibe from it
I like how a lot of movies take a dark approach and tend to not have a good ending or satisfying resolution. It shows that in real life not everything has a happily ever after but also in war there are no winners.
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
@@p-__ 🥲 pure poetry.
This entire movie is basically "Peace on earth", but reversed.
Instead of mankind nuking each other and peaceful animals rebuilding the world, it's the other way around.
So it's basically like The Mist but has a bigger impact in the end
there only one real winner in war death
Unicorn War is like _Happy Tree Friends_ but with a bigger budget and high quality animation.
Subverted kids show never shy away on exposing disturbing content and the intense bloodshed on cutesy characters and that's what makes it effective.
Don't forget Unicorn Wars is Happy Tree Friends but it actually has a lore and the violence has meaning
This is if Happy Tree Friends had a plot.
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
I miss it
Happy tree friend but, good and with an actual point lol
One thing to remark is that while the movie shows religion can be used as a brainwashing tool that corrupts, it doesn't demonize it completely, or says it is entirely evil.
(Spoiler alert)
The priest character is actually a rather good guy, he comforts Bluey about his insecurities and, unlike the generals, he is a true believer on the holy word (AKA, that killing the unicorns is going to bring paradise to the bears). He holds the unit together and clearly cares for his flock, seen as A) he inofficiallly takes command of the unit after the sergeant cracks due to the twins deaths, and B) he sacrifices himself to make sure that Coco, Bluey and Tubby manage to escape the unicorns.
So basically it is a message that there is good in religion, but it can also be twisted and corrupted, just like the bears themselves
I think that might be one of the reasons the general character was written to not believe in their religion. The priest showed that religion isn't all bad, even in a horribly corrupted religion, and the general shows not believing that religion isn't all good.
This film is absolutely genius. Showing how war, greed, brainwashing ideologies, and jealousy corrupts and destroys goodness and innocence, through the depiction of the most innocent of characters, unicorns and teddy bears, being corrupted and destroyed. And the ending where the monster becomes a human. I audibly gasped when I saw that part the first time.
I'm surprised they didn't used sabaton lifetime of war as an end credit song

A human followed by a massive herd of monkeys - perhaps to illustrate just how we really haven’t risen above our primal nature as the progress narrative preaches…
@@wilberwhateley7569 Correction. Liberal Humanitarian narrative preaches.
Funny. The only ideas who understand this best are those that have existed for thousands of years. Old enough to where such conflicts form part of their understanding of the world.
@@arnowisp6244 No - ideas about humanity being above nature and able to overcome his baser instincts can be traced back thousands of years: the modern narrative of Progress is simply the latest iteration of these ideas - and I believe that the writers of this film are saying that these concepts are dead wrong about us.
@@arnowisp6244 stop using liberals as an excuse it’s repetitive and annoying and makes any good statement you had sound opinionated
It's refreshing to see that there animations studios outside the US and Japan willing to bring something different to the table! Eager to see what Vazquez will do next 🤗
In my opinion, the animation studios outside US and Japan are usually the ones bringing more high quality experimental material, because they are not chasing box office necessarily.
You think the war on teddy bears and unicorns would be fun with fluffy things...but you'd be dead wrong! Also, that ending hit on a whole nother level!
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
The ending is what made me cum the hardest I was edging myself through that whole movie...like my comment says this was a real challenge wank there were many scenes in this movie where I nearly busted prematurely.
Nah, unicorns are badass. They have powerful magic and sharp horns.
Even in cartoons and comic books for kids like Rupert The Bear, unicorns will f you up.
@@p-__does this bot just show up everywhere
Yes! Once I saw SaberSpark review this, I knew that this was definitely something that you could review. And now here we are! And like I said in SS’ video, I love it when an animated movie that looks like it could be for kids, ends up being the most graphic and non kid friendly thing imaginable! Definitely a huge finger to all the people who think that animation is “only for kids”.
Also, happy Mother’s Day everyone!
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
I was the one to suggest unicorn wars to him lol
@@kuriraion5580 well, like they say: dreams do come true!😁
Honestly I feel like Unicorn wars entire narrative is about Humanity and talking about both the positive and the negative aspects that makes a person the way they are.🤔🐱
I'm surprised they didn't use lifetime of war by sabaton as an end credits song
That makes sense, especially with a lot of the Biblical references they used. The unicorn being named Maria can fit into representing an aspect of being part of nature (something humans sometimes forget they have), and Bluey and Tubby being very reminiscent of Cain and Abel, as well as the potentials to be very good and very bad.
@Strelok Sarchenkov washing it all down with unicorn blood was the real catalyst.
@@Scarshadow666
This! ☝🏽
I love how Azulin and Gordi's relationship mirrors that of Abel and Cain from the bible. A brother jealous and envious of the other, and takes out that anger by killing the other brother. And with the ending, how the monster formed into a human, I think it symbolizes all of humanity how we all have some of Azulin and Gordi in us, good and bad. Also, in the movie they mention that bears were banished from the magical forest and could never return, but we see Gordi isn't kicked out and in fact, he seems very happy to be in the forest. Kinda makes you think if the war was even needed, they could've just learned to live together. Corrupt authority and religion really hurts everyone.
Forest equals garden of Eden and humans were banished from it?
Fitting it's in a fairy tale then right?
I like the way the gore is animated. It looks real but also doesn’t break the art style and keeps with it.
Unicorn Wars makes Birdboy look like a ray of sunshine by comparison.
yea that movie was weaker
This movie's story sort of puts me in mind of the game Raze's Hell, with a few key differences. Here we have cute bears going to war with unicorns after gaining sentience to try taking back the forest, while in Raze's Hell, cute creatures are brainwashed by their princess into slaughtering anything ugly and "cutifying" the unsightly, barren land surrounding their kingdom. Where the bears are pissed off for being banished from the forest by the unicorns, the Kewletts just flat-out hate ugliness and want to kill/destroy everything they find repulsive. While the wars in both Unicorn Wars and Raze's Hell serve as distractions to keep the higher-ups in power, with Raze's Hell we have the twist ending where the Princess was trying to distract everyone from seeing her own ugliness.
Definitely gotta give this movie a watch soon!
Defiantly one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen.
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
If you show it to kids, then you are a bad parent/guardian. Unless if you allow kids to watch salad fingers…
I know, right?
It's almost perfect. 🥺🥺🥺
@p-__ i cant help but find these comments funny💀
They are so dumb i cant help but find it funny💀
I'd still love to see you review The Long Long Holiday, a French animated series that tells the story of WWII as seen through the eyes of the local children of an German-occupied France. It's only 10 episodes long and, despite being aimed at kids, it does not in any way talk down to its audience. Like, they have to confront the realities of war, even losing loved ones. I think it's right up your alley.
Agreed!
And if I'm not mistaken about which one you're talking about, it even shows that not every German soldier was an irredeemable monster
agreed, the long long holiday is absolutely amazing
@@ntfoperative9432 Except Col. Krieg. He's pretty much the stereotype...
Remind me that I'm still yet to watch it.
The ending to this film feels... weird.
The monster is shown as appearing in a church first, trying to eat Maria, and at the end it appears after Bluey has eaten Maria. It makes me wonder... okay, bear with me: unicorns are one of the symbols of magic in pop-culture. There are a few different animals that, if you see in a movie or anywhere, you think "yeah, something magical is going on here". Teddy bears on the other hands are typically seen as something childish, for kids. Something innocent and harmless.
So, it makes me wonder if a theme of the ending is that the death of magic, and the twisting of innocence into cruelty and madness, is what makes up Man.
I've just watched the film and I'm fond of your interpretation.
I think it's one of the symbolism the authors wanted to convey.
1-Did anyone else get the vibe they implied the bears and unicorns war lead to humans being created or have I finally gone crazy?
2-in a weird way Bluey did empathize with his dad. Yes I believe he was in fact a monster from day one but he’s held onto what his dad told him about being the best because his dad couldn’t hold onto his own marriage. That can say he did understand what his father was going through.
Also just to be safe I’m open to fact checks from the movie.
Bluey is Caín from the bible
Envy is destroying him
@@isauldron4337 nice way to see it that way
This is honestly one of my favorite animated films to have come out lately. It took me off-guard (I was expecting edgy mindless violence and was impressed by a thought provoking commentary on the horrors of war and religious corruption instead) and stuck with me. The art direction is stunning, I love how well-crafted every shot is (the raindrop you sloooowly see lead up to the corpse is brilliant, I loved that when I first saw it too), and the soundtrack is great and also not what you'd really expect. It's also so atmospheric, like you can tell the movie fully embraces what it is and it doesn't just invite you in, it pulls you whether you want to be pulled in or not, and doesn't let go until the end. Genuinely wonderful movie, it's been stuck in my brain since I saw it the other month. So glad to see you reviewed it, it deserves more recognition.
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't use lifetime of war by sabaton as an end credits song because if you listen the lyrics it fits well in the movie
What I like about Unicorn Wars is that, despite it having violence, gore, and nudity, they're not exclusively used as shock value all the time as a way to emphasize it as an "adult" film - it also shows it's maturity based on the themes it portrays. ^^
After everything Bluey has done nothing was more satisfying then his death, Someone try to tell me wrong
No I'm with you on that he deserved what he got
@@williampulfer-melville8536 thank you
Bluey brought It upon himself
I felt bad for him lol but I'm also a very jealous person so I think I'm projecting
@@namkia205 would you like to drink poisoned blood?
I'm gonna start suggesting Night on the Galactic Railroad more because it's a visually stunning surreal animated Japanese film about death and cats
I'm determined to get this film more attention, like it's on TH-cam for free)
Recently watched that one for the first time, what a ride.
It’s not like cat soup is it? That was disturbing
@@whitedragoness23 nope definetly not Cat Soup, both are free on TH-cam
I imagine the only kid who’d be happy to see this are Stewie and the crowd that’s into mascot horror.
Mascot horror games usually aren't very gory, so I think that would scare off most of the kids that like it.
@@deen7530 Mascot horror isn't for kids. It just happened to attract them because of the gamer youtubers. And games like Poppy playtime grabbed this chance and tried to pull as money out of it as possible.
This movie is definitely a thought provoker; the ending scene where the creature consumed both Bluey and Gordy and transformed into a human made me remember the concept “the duality of man,“ how humanity is capable of doing both great good, and great evil simultaneously. It takes a while for the idea to really settle in but I think it creates an ambiguous ending wear (as the story would have it) “now that God has returned both beautiful and immortal” the god/human can now command the land with both compassion and violence in his soul; granting them the knowledge to lead a world better than the one they inherited.
Like I said, it definitely takes a while for this idea to sinking after watching the movie, but I’d say that’s a compliment to unicorn Wars, it makes you think long after the credits
Bluey becoming sans was something nobody could have predicted
Yeah it would be funny for the movie to play megalovania when Bluey wears the mask.
0:01 I hate it when animal characters have human feet
After reading Zombies vs. Unicorns way too long ago, nothing shocks me anymore with the violence unicorns are capable of (plus Cabin in the Woods had a unicorn going Michael Myers on a few people...)
I just remember reading when I saw this comment. I am tempted now to reread this summer since it been so long
Hooves of Death?
My mom had the idea of cartoons only being for children, since I want to branch in the animation industry I had to change her mind. What I did is to show her some of the most brutal animated shows.
Always a joy to see traditional and masterful animation in an era of CG / Digital saturation. Sure I love all animation but I'll never turn away something wonderful such as this!
to be honest i hadnt heard of this until u reviewed it
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
If you like Steve's kind of content I would recommend saberspark. It's similar content but with a more flamboyant "what the fuck!?" Energy. He even reviewed this same film so you can compare
The first time I've heard of it has when SaberSpark talked about it.
@@cristianzarate502 i remember watching him a while back
@@p-__ your not funny
Interesting fact is Tubby's name properly in Spanish is Gordi which while literally means Chubby seems like it can also be used in like diminuative way as if to call someone darling or honey. So kinda gives a double meaning
His mother using it in a loving manner but clearly when his brother uses his name it more in a cruel unloving way i guess
It’s also interesting how the characters of Bluey and Tubby are similar to the Biblical figures of Cain and Abel, where one brother slaughter to other one due to jealousy and is then punished by God.
The war of My Little Pony and Care Bears has begun! And let me tell you, it's a bloody one indeed!
Begun, the Unicorn War has.
Also there a sabaton song fits well in this movie called a life time of war
th-cam.com/video/bbSwFv3RBy8/w-d-xo.html
Cool that you didn't spoil Azulin's face in the thumbnail, unlike Saberspark.
For what you've told, Bluey reminds me a lot of Max from "Camp Camp". They both have a shitty past, they're both affected by it, but while Bluey chooses to follow his emotions blindly, Max little by little starts realizing that he's not a bad kid, he just grew up in a very shitty environment.
It truly is a case of both sides of the same coin.
I think the ending implies that the age of anthro animals has ended and the dawn of man begins, since the final scene is a human like figure leading a group of primates.
Though, I kinda wished it ended with Bluey and all the other bears getting wiped out but Tubby survives and goes on to live a happy life with that young unicorn, all whilst thinking about his brother and how things could've been different
I’m surprised there’s not any videos talking about the What If alternate scenarios for Unicorn Wars.
This is so sad. On alot of levels. That scene with the mother and father holding the babie boys, aw. It makes me sad knowing what happens and the internal struggles.
Never heard of this one before but from the opening bit it looks like a fun family friendly time!
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
I haven't seen such a kid friendly movie since Fritz the Cat and Sausage Party!
Now I really wanna hear you talk about Made In Abyss. It is my absolute favourite dark story of all time because despite its horrific imagery and themes, it's just so beautiful. Also, they never outright say it, but I'm pretty sure it has religious connotations.
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't use lifetime of war by sabaton as an end credits song because if you listen the lyrics it fits well in the movie
Yep it's like the hell in Dante's inferno and it has a lot of themes about sacrifice and rebirth which seems very biblical if you ask me
I was terrified first time I saw this movie, but I've never felt such genuine potty for the characters and what they go through 🥺
War is such a gruesome, disgusting concept... And this film truly showcases it's horrors
You mean pity?
@@IndominusGojira yes 😅
@@StarWolfLegacy It's just a typo
absolutely blindsided by the face reveal after seeing the eddsworld-esque avatar for so long, for some reason i'm always surprised when youtubers do a face reveal and they actually look good, no homo
You also always expect to see someone who looks like they never go outside?
The blue bear kinda turns into Darth Vader. He gets horribly disfigured and the doctors give him a special mask to hide it and becomes a commander.
If you go out into the woods today...The teddybears are having their genocide.
I asked you to review this film years ago. Thank you for giving Alberto the recognition he deserves.
But it came out in 2023
With this movie, you could get a lot of milage out of that Muriel ''Oh my!'' clip.
This film reminds me of just human nature. Where higher beings capable of great emotions. Drown themselves of what society wants them to be and what they instinctively are. War really brings it out and such war films bring such spectrum of emotions.
0:37 “Unicorns”
I saw this at the animation festival in Manchester and I was absolutely amazed, I loved this film and loved how well animated and written it was-
Also a whole row of animation students - including myself - gasped loudly in the cinema when the bears said “I love you brother.”
It amazes me that after all this time and countless examples to the contrary, there are STILL people who unironically and erroneously think animation is "just for kids". Happy to have yet another example to shove in the faces of the people who think cartoons are "childish".
Anybody else come back here and think that this movie is now relevant with the ongoing situation in the Gaza and Israel?
I know it's cliche as hell, but the creators of this could make an amazing Dark Souls film.
From the art style to the animations to the story... They'd absolutely smash it.
Yo, imagine the character destroying the white bulbs on the tree boss in an animated film like this?
Its just gonna be hour and half of static shot of poisoned swamp
The fact I was anticipating this movie and knowing that STEVE WOULD REVIEW IT, finally I get to watch
Quick FYI: It's pronounced Vazckez (the U is silent). Great video, but every single time I heard "VasqUez" it made mi ears bleed.
i like to think the ending when the man is made represents the good bad and ugly sides or in this case naive (tubby) , innocent (unicorn) , and bad (bluey) sides of humans
The animation alone for this film makes me wanna watch it. It's so goddamned beautiful.
I must hardly disagree on no happy ending. Steve literally missed one hell of the plot twist. First the scene with a demon It wants to consume young unicorn which is very strange because if it's so powerful why should it care about catching one when it can just go in a rampage consuming? Second creepy moment is revealed later when we listen to words of a mother unicorn she says that monkeys will not help in final war because their are too busy with THEIR god. In the end monkeys literally make new god for themselves and kill all opposition. So its definitely happy ending for them. Last piece I think many people missed is a gruesome in many ways story of a bears family. We literally have a situation where adultery of a woman destroyed not only live of a husband but their kids too. Before anyone wants to use argument about "love". No, not this time. Because she literally give a birth to two sons but almost immediately spent like most of her care and time on one of the kids which is not so motherly thing to do.
So she’s eve and she introduced evil into the world. Then there’s able who is the good son?
She also broke the marriage and abandoned the family out of boredom because her husband “wasn’t good enough”. Basically a shit mother and wife
“Aren’t cartoons for children?”
*laughs in Happy Tree Friends*
Got to be the most heartwarming version of the care Bears on Opposite Day 🤣🤣🤣
Colombiano aqui! Es muy refrescante ver peliculas en mi lenguage recibir tanta atencion!
Heads up on the pronunciation of the director’s name, in Spanish the “q” doesn’t make the “kwuh” sound, it makes the “k” sound. Thus his last name would be pronounced “Vahs-kez”
Steve is way more good looking than i expected
Clearly, I'm biased in favor of anthro animal characters. But I believe they are the best way to communicate overarching themes. Every culture has assigned certain animals with human traits, and a lot of people have grown up with animal characters in media. Books like Animal Farm are a great example of how they can be effectively used in a political, "adult" context. It co-opts the aesthetic of a fable meant to teach morals. This movie is no different with how it utilizes the aesthetic of children's cartoons
I really hate it when a show feels the need to combine overly cute and cuddly character designs with graphic violence and profanity, especially when that's the show's entire aesthetic. Sometimes it's actually funny in small doses, but usually it's just annoying.
I really do like the design for the unicorns, though.
the whole 'looks cute but is violent!' has been done to death but hey, war media is still cool
This is on a whole other level though, well worth your time.
Interesting thing that I've learnt which is this film was mostly animated using Blender's Grease Pencil
Unfortunately too "adult" for me I guess. Was interested initially.
There is a word for this style of taste . . . morbid. not just violent (which was what I was ok with).
It's a very dark film - nihilistic espically towards the end. I recommend Bird Boy though it's (slightly) more hopeful, and the animation is even more unique than Unicorn Wars.
@@phoebevaughan5095 Thanks for the suggestion.
Interesting focus on metaphors in that one rather than brutal for the sake of brutal.
@@NPC-bs3pm Your welcome!
The cute anthro style with the corrupt religious and eldritch themes remind me of _Cult of the Lamb_
After watching a lot of Happy Tree Friends, I think this movie will be bloody but amazing.
Ironically that you mentioned happy tree friends consider that flippy is soldier who likes to dream about unicorn
I went to see Unicorn wars in the theatre with friends specifically because of your bird boy review.
And I don't regret it one bit.
It was really nice to see your review pop up !
This film is definitely the weirdest one I ever watched, and also probably the goriest, but it was really interesting, and my friends (learning 2D animation) and I found the artstyle stunning.
I hadn't thought about it, but it does indeed remind me a bit of ghibli's princess mononoke.
Dear Mr. S. Reviews,
My crippling anxiety has kept me from commenting, but I think you’d really enjoy breaking down “tree of palm”. It’s a Japanese adaptation of Pinocchio, from either the 70’s or 80’s. I don’t want to spoil anything; but perhaps I can entice you. Imagine the strangest adaptation of Pinocchio you can, then run that image through a filter of Salvador Dali. If you cannot find a copy, I’ve been collecting strange movies for 25 years.
Knew this was right up your alley after Saberspark reviewed it, and I'm more than happy to see your take on this bizarrely beautiful horror.
My farts are better than Steve's farts.
@@p-__what the fuck
I just watched the film. The style and animation are impressive, the setting interesting and a bit funny, but I have no clue what kind of story the film was trying to tell or what the author/director was getting at. Frankly, the film left me confused and a bit disturbed.
Steve I'm SO happy you made a video on this I couldn't get this movie off my mind since a week ago having first seen it this was awesome!!
The most disturbing thing is that the prophecy in the sacred book was somehow right and that the tragedy shown in the film couldn't be avoided.
This is literally what I saw when I was a kid playing with my toys
The naration in the beginning sounds very much like the whole “the Middle East is ours kick out the muslims” the Catholic Church was talking about during the crusades
Religion in and of itself is not a bad thing. In fact, religion often teaches good morals, and much can even be learned from other religions other than your own. It is what the religion teaches and/or how religion is used that determines whether or not the religion is good or not. By their fruits, ye shall know them. If religion is promoting peace, love, and goodwill to your fellow men and teaches good morals, then it is a good religion. If it encourages evil acts such as murder, violence, and other horrific acts, then it is evil. Most of the big religions of today are good and teach good things. However, there are many members of said religions who commit evil acts, whether it be in the name of religion or not, contrary to what the religion actually teaches. At that point, religion is not to blame, but the individuals who use religion for evil purposes, giving the actual faithful followers of that religion and the religion itself a bad name.
True sadly religion is one other thing that scapegoat for violence just like how they blame video games
Oh I remember asking for this! I'm glad you made a video on this!
I feel this is a right bridge to have Steve pick up Made in Abyss
Oh yea the anime/manga written by a ped0. Nice
I saw the GKids official trailer for this and I literally laughed cause I knew it was going to be an adult movie. Especially when I reconized the art style.
“I’ve been in almost every invasion, Poland, Netherlands, France, Russia, North Africa…I’ve seen combat and see what it can do. You either grow to hate war, or grow to love it. Most soldiers hate it. When the war is over, they go back to their old careers or start new ones, teachers, carpenters, engineers. They want to put it behind them. They don’t want to talk of the bloodshed, the violence. I listened to the stories of mein vater and of his friends when they came to visit. They never discussed a battle. It was always of their friends, those that didn’t make it back.”~Major Michael Christoff.
i would do literally anything for a cinematic yet gritty Rain World movie in this sort of animation style
I forgot that Steve isn't the embodiment of his avatar and he has a physical form 😂 Aloha from Hawaii. If you get the chance, please check out Paprika!

After watching this, do you still think Plague Dogs is disturbing?
Plague Dogs is disturbing in a different light. Plus, there is much more to the book.
This film has great script writing. And in the best possible way to show it, the part where the bears decide to burn the forest is (in my opinion) the climax of the movie. And the reason being that, it mimics a real life tactic in war (operation scorched earth) which is almost always a nail in the coffin for when wars have gone too far.
I absolutely adore the art style in this movie. It reminds me a lot of my own art style and what I wish it looked like.
To those who think that liking animated movies is childish, I say "so what"
I was hoping that you would review this!
6:44 how can I relate to this so goddamn much?
It was almost nice to see Tubby finally stand up to Bluey at the end.
If only he hadn't turned his back on him...😢
Yes, he would not get murdered by his OWN brother.
